  • The title will change to “Texas Vendor Drug Program (Fee-for-Service).”
  • The call center will be renamed “Texas Pharmacy Prior Authorization Call Center,” and the website link will be replaced.

Note: Texas Medicaid managed care organizations (MCOs) must provide all medically necessary, Medicaid-covered services to Medicaid members who are enrolled in their MCO. Administrative procedures, such as prior authorization, precertification, referrals, and claims and encounter data filing, may differ from traditional Medicaid (fee-for-service) and from MCO to MCO. Providers should contact the member’s specific MCO for details.
